Abstract:
Experiments are performed to study the change in the fluid structure that decreases the effective viscosity of samples of a high-viscosity polar fluid (glycerin) and a polymer (Plexiglas) under shear loading. Empirical relations are proposed for estimating the behavior of viscosity decreasing in the course of loading versus time and governing parameters of the system.
